We propose the creation of a large interactive Science Space (museum) and an important Art Space in Kochi. The goal of the Kochi Art and Science Space (KASS) is to educate and foster creativity in its many forms. A place which would provide exposure to the complementary worlds of Art and Science. KASS will be a pluridisciplinary arts and science culture hub.

The aim of the Science Space is to attract and introduce people to principles of science and technology. Its major aim is to generate a strong interest and attract bright young minds into the pursuit of science, which is a must in the highly technological world in which we live and whose development is based on all branches of science. It’s aim is also to generate awareness of ecological and societal issues. The Science Space will be an exciting interactive place where children and adults can explore the world of Science and Technology hands-on.
The Art space is meant in a broad sense: painting, sculpture, photography, design, architecture, fashion, music, dance, theater, .... The Art Space would be a modern art, design, fashion... museum and exhibition space which would showcase creations of the design of Indian and foreign designers and again provide exposure and educate people in various trends. It would present trends in ecofriendly and sustainable design. As the Science space it would cater to young and old.
The combined space would feature a planetarium and a pluridisciplinary multimedia reference, information and self training library. It would have a center for performing arts featuring an auditorium (theatre), concert hall, iMAX cinema. These will complement the activities in the science & arts spaces.
We witness rapid evolution in science and artistic & design trends. KASS will therefore strive to have a vigorous renewable exhibition policy, alongside some more permanent exhibits. The returning visitor will be able to constantly discover new aspects and also rediscover "old friends". In the same vein KASS would also organise regular art & design shows.
An important role of KASS will be in its outreach, providing a place with supplemental material for schools during on site visits to groups of children and when possible organising "at school" exhibits.
